Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang Destination Reviews

Overall excellent there was the what I believe to be the controller at the Ho Chi Minh bus station who was rude but the bus itself was clean, the bus staff were great just be prepared with your questions on Google translate and they are very helpful as they don't speak English. The bus was clean, comfortable and on time. Looks just as advertised. I am 5'10" it would be a squeeze for those over 6ft if I am honest. Blankets and pillows provided. Arrived on schedule. Tyre safety checks and refit stop off along the route too!

I thought the bus is going by the coast so I would be able to enjoy the city views. But it doesn’t go that way. The trip felt very long. We only had two stops and quite quick. For that many hours I expected a couple more stops. The driver seemed like he doesn’t really like foreigners, or he’s just not really nice in general. I’ll give to the whole trip like 6/10

I was not given a choice of seat on the bus and was automatically given a seat in the middle isle. I with no window. Staff on the bus had two beds that were by the windows but only used them sporadically so it would have made sense for them to have the smaller units.

Very good, I am 6”4 and was expecting to be very cramped but I was only a little bit too tall to stretch out fully, so if you’re 6”0 or under

Drivers and conductors don't bother to speak english; you’ll be left clueless unless you speak Vietnamese. Pick-up and drop-off locations in the booking are from small vans to send you to their office. As I was the only one to be picked up, they booked for a grab bike for me instead of the van as it was cheaper (for them). We were dropped off in their office but no one mentioned there was a minivan to come to send us to the booked destination. Had to book grab bike at my expense instead. As for the bus itself, the entertainment screen was useless, there was no wifi or even power in the outlets. I was alone in the cabin though so atleast there’s that. As a foreigner with no vietnamese and despite being among the first to board, I was sent on the farthest cabin and on the top one, next to the toilet (the worst for shaking and potential smell). You may want to reconsider booking this operator, or via 12go and try Vexere instead so you could book the exact seat you want.

Overall pretty comfy journey. Only issues were on the top bunk near the back it felt pretty bumpy and unstable (you get used to to it after a few hours) and the aircon wouldn’t switch off so it gave me a nasty cold/cough. It also was like an hour late but I wasn’t too bothered. Plenty of stops for food

Was actually a good trip. Left about 5:30pm from Ho Chi Minh arrived in Da nang about lunchtime. Bus was clean and as described, we booked the VIP Cabin(had our own cabin seat). Seats are comfortable even for a long trip, I’m 6,2ft and couldnt quite straighten my legs but wasnt too bad. We did arrive at the pick up location which is a little office and waiting area, then transported by van to the bus about 30mins away. Once the bus left we had 2 stops, one just outside of Ho Chi Minh which had a little restaurant and again in the morning at another little restaurant. Nobody speaks english so just read the ques and figure it out. We had to go and ask for noodles or would have missed out. Come prepared with your own food and a few drinks, one bottle of water provided. The negatives would be as the other reviews stated, driving is typical. The music onboard was annoying, turned off for the sleeping part but on for long periods, bring earphones, a couple we meet brought a twin ticket which is just sharing a cabin. Some cargo was loaded inside. Overall I would do it again, just make sure you’re getting the Cabins for a long trip like this and come prepared

Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
